Put Your Best Face Forward This New Year with Microneedling

Did you make resolutions for the new year? If so, they probably focused on feeling or looking better. You should feel better by spending more time with family, for example, or look better by losing weight. 

While you’re working on your self-betterment in 2023, you should know that there’s a cosmetic option that can help you look and feel better. With microneedling, you’ll get glowing, refreshed skin. This way, you can put your best face forward and tackle the new year feeling your best. 

Plus, Elaine Phuah, DO, MBA, FACOI, offers microneedling right here at Hanami Medspa in Fort Worth, Texas. Is it right for you? Let’s find out.

How microneedling works

During microneedling, Dr. Phuah uses a specialized, FDA-cleared device called the SkinPen. The SkinPen creates tiny, controlled punctures on the surface of your skin. Don’t worry. We apply a topical numbing agent to your skin before starting, so you can relax comfortably during treatment.

Your body reads those pin-pricks as injuries. As a result, it kickstarts its healing process on the surface of your skin. This leads to the creation of new skin cells and more collagen, the protein that supports your skin. Through the years, your body makes less and less collagen — and it shows in your skin. Microneedling gives you a way to reverse that decline.

Microneedling gives you a way to improve your overall skin tone and texture and reduce the appearance of:

• Large pores
• Scars, including acne scars
• Fine lines
• Dark spots

All told, if you’re looking for a way to put your best face forward in 2023, microneedling might be right for you. 

What to expect with microneedling

You shouldn’t have any technical downtime with microneedling, although you may want to lay low for the rest of the day because your face will be red. Your skin should improve within a couple of weeks as it makes new collagen.

Some people reach their ideal complexion with a single microneedling session. One appointment can do the trick if you’re looking for a quick refresh. 

Dr. Phuah can create a tailored series of SkinPen sessions for even more dramatic results. Most people opt for around three treatments, each spaced about a month apart. This allows you to target specific issues, like acne scars or dark spots. 

2023 is here, meaning it’s time for a fresh start. If you want to head into the new year with fresh, rejuvenated skin, don’t wait to call Hanami Medspa or make an appointment online today. Talk with Dr. Phuah about your cosmetic goals; she can tailor a plan to help you achieve them this year.
